Default MySQL root password

[xplatform12]

I was looking into securing my VE up and noticed that in plesk that I could not find a way to change the default root@localhost password? I don't remember setting this up as it was an application template installed via HSPC. Does anyone know what the default password is or how to change it.

the default mysql password? during install plesk uses the server's root user password for mysql as well, have you tried that?

I did use the root password while trying to log into mysql. That was my first thought. However, I keep getting the following when I login with root and the root password:

mysql -p

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Normally the root user is called "admin" (and not "root") if you use Plesk. The password is your Plesk admin password.

You are correct. By default there is no root user in the mysql user table. However, loging with admin and root password worked.

Thanks
